Lauren Dluzewski
Summary
In 2021, I earned my degree in Sport, Outdoor Recreation, and Tourism Management while competing as an NCAA Division I soccer player, an experience that shaped my work ethic, adaptability, and ability to thrive under pressure. After graduating, I spent a year backpacking in Australia on a work holiday visa, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and strengthening my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. With extensive experience in photography, event promotion, and creative work, I specialize in capturing authentic moments that feel natural and nostalgic. Beyond photography, I'm passionate about event marketing and digital content creation, blending strategic thinking with a creative eye to engage audiences. My ability to learn quickly, take initiative, and thrive in dynamic environments makes me eager to collaborate with brands and businesses that align with my vision. Whether through photography, event promotion, or content creation, I love bringing ideas to life in a way that resonates with people.
